Amen Properties Reports Results for Fourth Quarter of 2012 and Announces Quarterly Dividend

RICHARDSON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Amen Properties, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AMEN) today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $653 thousand and a net profit of $1.2 million, or $23.69 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $767 thousand and a net loss of $(94) thousand, or $(1.83) per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. The decline in operating revenue was caused by declines in commodity prices, primarily natural gas. The increase in profitability was driven by dividends received by the Company in connection with its real estate investments.

Amen also announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the payment of a quarterly dividend of $18 per share to the Company’s common shareholders. The dividend will be paid on March 29, 2013 to shareholders of record as of March 22, 2013. The Company reminded shareholders that future dividend levels will be largely determined by commodity prices for oil and gas.

Finally, Amen reiterated that its Board has approved a plan whereby the Company will no longer hedge the revenue stream associated with its oil and gas royalties. The Board reached this decision based on reduced cash flow risk associated with the retirement of the Company’s debt in 2011. “Shareholders of Amen need to understand that, moving forward, they hold an un-hedged long oil and gas position and should pursue their own hedging strategy if they are uncomfortable with that risk”, said Kris Oliver, Amen’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s 2012 fourth quarter report is available for viewing or download from the company’s web site – www.amenproperties.com.

About Amen Properties:

Amen Properties owns a diverse portfolio of cash-producing properties including real estate and oil and gas interests.
